So funny. I try not to curse around my daughter, much, but sometimes the words just come out. I am absolutely confident that she'll drop the f-bomb someday when we're at the grocery store or somewhere where the maximum number of people will hear her.

It reminded me of something that happened when I was in college. While student teaching in a first grade classroom I had an observation. I was quite nervous about it. Why? The lesson was about the short u sound. One of the mini-lessons was about rhyming words with duck. I knew one of the kids would say suck - so I had a response all ready about sucking on a lollipop and "good work" then I guided them to other words hoping that with my mentor watching nobody would do the forbidden word. I was lucky, the child that I thought would instead got stuck repeating the work "butt" over and over and over again.
